Frequently Asked Questions about Performance Hats

What makes a hat chlorine resistant?

Chlorine resistant fabrics are made to withstand pool chemicals and saltwater without breaking down or fading as quickly as standard fabric. Coolibar's Brighton bucket, for example, uses a quick drying, stretchy fabric with UPF 50+ protection for time in and around the water.

What's the difference between Melin's Hydro and Thermal caps?

Hydro caps are built for warm, wet conditions, with quick dry, water beading panels, perforations for airflow, and a design that floats. Thermal caps are the cold weather version, using a merino wool blend that repels water and snow while letting heat and moisture escape.

Does a moisture-wicking sweatband really help?

Yes. A wicking sweatband pulls sweat away from your forehead and spreads it out so it evaporates faster, which keeps sweat out of your eyes and stops the hat from feeling soggy. It also helps the hat dry faster between workouts.

Why do some performance hats have a hidden pocket?

A small hidden pocket holds a key, card, or a little cash when you are running, hiking, or on the water without a bag. It keeps essentials secure and out of sight. Check each item's details to see which styles include one.

What does PFC-free water repellent mean?

It means the hat's water repellent finish is made without perfluorinated chemicals, long lasting compounds that raise environmental concerns. The finish still makes water bead up and roll off, and like any water repellent coating, it can wear down with use and washing.
